Hey You Guys! Check It Out...

Roux's on Twitter now! Check him out at http://twitter.com/Roux_The_Shiba

Rex the Shiba Inu


Some of you might have heard the news about the Shiba Inu who was taped to a fridge. If not here is a quick write up about the incident. Luckily Rex was rescued and was recovering at the local Humane Society. Just heard today that he is living in foster care with other Shibas, which is great news and we hope everything works out for Rex, and he finds a wonderful forever home real soon.

If you would like to donate to Rex's cause, please visit the Humane Society of Boulder CO.

I'd also like to suggest donating to your favorite Shiba Inu rescue. Luckily taping Shibas to fridges isn't commonplace but plenty of wonderful Shibas do get abused or just end up in bad situations. So many Shiba rescues are doing great work finding those dogs loving homes. Let's help them out!

Roux is an alumni of Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue, home of the Shiba Shoppe. I own plenty of the shiba magnets and water bottles. Maybe now I should get some of those great Shiba wine glasses!

Roux VS The Bunny

Roux's favorite place in the house is on the cat tree looking out the window. He barely fits on it but that has never stopped him. Last night we caught him telling a bunny to get off his lawn!

Bad Dog Caught On Tape!



We recently got Roux new food & water bowls. He discovered that he can pick up these bowls, unfortunately. So this is how he tells us he's hungry or thirsty...or bored.

RouxLobster

Leading up to Halloween, I was a bit concerned about how Roux would react to it all. We weren't sure how he would tolerate his costume, or if he would get nervous around trick or treaters. I came home from work, and we took Roux for a walk around the neighborhood with his costume on to see how he would do.

He LOVED it. That little Shiba pranced around the neighborhood and was smiling so big at everyone we met.

It might not look like it in this picture, but Roux really did enjoy wearing his costume.

Roux also enjoyed all of the kids he saw in costume coming to our door. He spent most of the evening looking out the window just waiting for the next group to come to visit. People adored the lobster Shiba who greeted them at the front door.
Going to people's houses and getting food? Why can't dogs do this too??

Roux got to even enjoy his own special Halloween treat, a rawhide card he got from his Aunt Kassie!
Ok, this is more like it!

All that Halloween excitement made for a very sleepy Shiba!

I'm not asleep, just checking my eyelids for leaks.

Roux in the Leaves


Last weekend, Roux was introduced to one of the best things about the Fall...LEAF PILES!
